Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Grand Cru Classé Pauillac 1998

Château Lafite Rothschild 1998 is a Premier Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, an absolute icon of Bordeaux and a symbol of elegance and longevity. Located in the Médoc, Château Lafite Rothschild has represented the pinnacle of French winemaking for centuries, thanks to an extraordinary terroir of gravel and clay soils that give the wines depth, complexity, and unmistakable character.

The 1998 vintage, considered particularly interesting for the Left Bank, has produced a Lafite of great balance, both powerful and refined. The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with contributions from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, graphite, and tobacco, enriched with hints of cedar, spice, and delicate toasted notes. On the palate, it is sumptuous and harmonious, with dense yet silky tannins, an imposing structure, and a long, persistent finish that testifies to its immense aging potential.

Today, the 1998 Château Lafite Rothschild presents itself as a great, mature wine, perfectly evolved yet still endowed with energy and potential for development. Perfect with fine red meats, game, roasts, or mature cheeses, it represents not only a bottle of extraordinary prestige, but also a sensory experience that recounts the history and legend of one of Bordeaux's greatest Châteaux.
